Remove a header from the list

Advanced Configuring

Automatic Rule (a.k.a AutoRule)

As you can see when you choose a header, there is a tab named Automatic Rules. This feature makes Smart Header much more smarter than other extensions.

A header can own many autorules. Before a HTTP request is sent, Smart Header will check the autorules one by one. When an autorule is valid (means that ALL of its conditions are TRUE), this valid autorule will change the header’s value and its following autorule will not work.

An autorule can own many conditions. When ALL of its conditions are TRUE, this autorule can work.

A (basic) condition is consist of …

Source : the value to be tested.

URL : the requesting URL.

Referer : the referer. If it’s null, this autorule will not work

Method : GET, POST, PUT etc.

Req Type : the type of this request. This can be main_frame, sub_frame, stylesheet, script, image, object, xmlhttprequest, or other.

Method : the method to test the source value.

Argument : the argument of the method.

Miracle comes from automation!

Utils

RegExp Tester

This is designed for users who want to add an autorule based on regExp. You can test whether your regExp works.

Master Mode

This is hidden in the Options page. You can export & import headers and AutoRules with this. There are 3 buttons under the input area.

Load : read the headers and autorules from current page.

Write : replace the header list and autorules with your input.

Mix : compare current data with your input and append the new things that we found in your input.

Magic Variables

You can put magic variables like {rand:0,10} into your new value and Smart Header will replace it with something like 7.

AutoRule Magic Variables

If one autorule contains RegExp and works, it will generate magic variables {result:#.#}.

The first number sign(#) is the index of the condition (0,1,2…). When your cursor hovers over one condition, the index will show up.

The second is the index of the capturing group (0,1,2…). Notice that the whole regular expression is one and the first capturing group.

After replacing the signs, your variable reference should be like {result:1.0}.

You can test with Utils - RegExp Tester.

FAQ

My change doesn’t work.

FORCE Refresh the page by hitting Ctrl+F5.

Clean cache and refresh.

Clean cookies and refresh.

Use lower-case name (X-Forwarded-For -> x-forwarded-for , for example).

Check if your request header/value is correct.

Check if the website supports the change.

For the sake of safety, Chrome limited some headers (e.g. x-forwarded-for). There is no way to bypass yet.

If it still doesn’t work, tell me the detail.

Can I import or export my header list?

Yes. Read the part about Master Mode .

What’s the range that my changes will affect.

Every request in Chrome. I don’t know whether there are people want to limit this, therefore I didn’t code.
